When Hope Keeps Growing: The 50 Days of Easter
Understanding the Easter Season
After Jesus’ incredible resurrection, the Church begins a 50‑day journey of hope called the Easter Season. It starts with a joyful first week celebrating that Jesus is alive.
The weeks that follow explore what his resurrection means for real life today — for our questions, our struggles, and our hopes.
Two particular points shape this season: Ascension Day, when we remember Jesus returning to God, and Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit gave the first Christians courage and purpose.
Easter is all about new beginnings and discovering God’s love in a fresh way. You can learn more about Jesus from other Christians at A Church Near You.
